LG seems to be working on two basic smartwatches for Verizon
Looking for a smartwatch this holiday season? Chances are you’ll be considering devices that run Android Wear, Pebble OS, or Tizen. Verizon customers, though, might have an extra option running proprietary software unseen anywhere else. Evan Blass posted an image of two unannounced LG-made smartwatches — allegedly called the GizmoPal 2 and GizmoGadget — that are said to be heading to Verizon. Additional information beyond the image was not provided.

The only difference between the two smartwatches seems to be the button layout. The GizmoPal 2 has call, home, and play buttons while the GizmoGadget replaces that last one for an end call button. These are likely going to be affordable smartwatches since the bands are rubber and non-removable. If you want metal or leather bands and a beefier operating system, keep looking.
